In this conversation, we’ll be catching up with Olivier Staphylas, who has recently finished up working on Wish Dragon as Animation Director. Olivier finished top of his class at Goeblins and the next day found himself in a Parisian restaurant with a job offer from Dreamworks and within the matter of one film was promoted to Supervising Animator.
We’ll chat with Olivier about his passion for animation that made him top of the class, his rise through the ranks from Animator to Head of Character Animation to Animation Director, and where he sees the future of animated films heading.
